Understanding and being understood
Speech and Language Therapy
Support for speech, language, communication and, where needed, feeding — helping children connect with the people around them.
In plain language
Speech and language therapy supports how children understand language, express themselves, and communicate — through spoken words and, where helpful, other means of communication. It can also support some feeding and swallowing needs.
